WI The capital city of New Zealand was never moved from Auckland to Wellington in the 1850-60's and the gold-rich, more populated South Island broke away to form a separate colony.
What implications would this have for the modern day NZ islands/countries?
Would we see a Maori majority in the North Island with a European majority in the South?
Would they be separate countries when the British Empire falls in the 20th century?
Would the NZ colonies have joined Australia(/Australasia)?
Or would they have eventually united back together to end up forming a similar NZ to today?
